Bradenton Beach, FL -- After more than seven years of being apart from his soulmate, Keith Stansell married his fiancee, Patricia.

Keith Stansell was held hostage by the Columbia rebel group FARC and returned to Bradenton in July 2008.

Tonight was all about celebration.

"She waited for him not even knowing that if he was alive. She waited for him," says Cathy Mills, wedding coordinator with Sand Petal Weddings.

Patricia gave birth, and raised the couple's two boys, while Stansell was held hostage.
